Thor: Ragnarok Has Found Its Writer

THR is reporting Stephany Folsom has been tapped to work on the script for Thor: Ragnarok . It’s the first move on the Marvel Studios project since early October, when Taika Waititi , who co-wrote and co-directed the vampire spoof What We Do In the Shadows, came on board to helm the project, the third installment of Marvel’s Thor movies. Chris Hemsworth will be back as the Norse god of thunder for the film that is also due to feature a team-up with the Hulk. Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle previously worked on the script. Folsom is the latest female writer to be brought into the Marvel stable, whose stock in trade is a genre that many think of as male-oriented. Marvel already had Nicole Perlman as a writer on Guardians of the Galaxy and she is now writing Captain Marvel with another female screenwriter, Meg LeFauve (Inside Out). Folsom is best known for her 2013 Black List script 1969: A Space Odyssey or How Kubrick Learned to Stop Worrying and Land on the Moon. The drama

Taika Waititi Offered Thor: Ragnarok

Taika Waititi , who co-wrote and co-directed the vampire spoof What We Do In the Shadows , is in negotiations to direct the third installment of Marvel’s Thor movies, titled Thor: Ragnarok . Chris Hemsworth is reprising his role of the Norse god of thunder. Waititi’s emergence as the choice caps off a round of intense meetings that took place over the last month. Ruben Fleischer, Rob Letterman and Rawson Marshall Thurber were the other directors that were finalists for the gig. Waititi is the latest head-scratcher from Marvel for their pick to direct a big-budget extravaganza, especially one steeped in the Norse mythology and an Apocalypse myth. He wrote and directed episodes of Flight of the Conchords and is a writer on Disney’s upcoming animated feature Moana, which will star Dwayne Johnson. (Fun fact: he appeared with Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern, the 2011 adventure movie from Marvel’s superhero movie rival, Warner Bros.) Guardians of the Galaxy director James G

Why The Lack Of Promotion For The Green Lantern

Less than three months before it hits theaters, " Green Lantern " is missing something critical: a marketing campaign.

The Green Lantern Tomar-Re Image

Piranha Man? CBM bring us a new character image from the upcoming film, The Green Lantern. The out of this world guys name is Tomar-Re . In the trailer for the film you can catch a glimpse of alien Green Lantern Corps. Still not sure of this movie. I know a few people that are getting so pumped for this film, but the trailer just didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong I am a Ryan Reynold fan, yes I admit it he is pretty sexy. Read more about Tomar-Re after the Jump.. Tomar was a scientist on the planet Xudar before joining the Green Lantern Corps. He became a pivotal member of the Corps, training new members, like Arisia, and serving in the Honor Guard. He investigated reports of abuses of power by Sinestro on Korugar. He was close friends with Abin Sur, Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814. He was also the first Lantern to meet Sur’s replacement, Hal Jordan, and the two got along equally well. In the Post-Crisis timeline, that friendship is deepened further in th

Green Lantern's Power Lantern Revealed

Let's Hope He Has A Charger This ain't your everyday Coleman campsite lantern. It's the space battery that will power Ryan Reynold's in the upcoming Green Lantern film, and it has been unleashed to the world. Here's Alittle History on the Oan power lantern . Oan Energy Conduit: The rings use Oan energy (supplied by a Green Lantern Power Battery .) Power Batteries are constantly charged by the Central Power Battery to manually fuel about 7200 individual Green Lantern Rings. With few exceptions, the Power Ring was limited to a 24-hour charge and needed to be recharged at the Power Battery on a daily basis. However, that limit has been removed, meaning a Lantern is only obligated to recharge their ring when the power levels are depleted or gone. The amount of energy in a ring is measured by the ring, and relayed to the Lantern via a percentage scale of 0% - 100%. When Abin Sur died, his Power Battery and Power Ring were passed onto the Human known as Hal Jor

Ryan Reynolds Kicks Off Green Lantern Panel

Ryan Reynolds Kicks Off Green Lantern Panel Warner Bros kicked off the movie side of Comic Con in a big way with a first look at its latest DC Comics superhero tentpole, “Green Lantern.” Glimpse is a more apt description as the movie is still in production in Louisiana and the footage was teasingly half-second images of Ryan Reynolds with the alien power ring, a yellow alien named Tomaray,Reynolds willing a giant fist into existence and plowing some thugs, an alien world, among others. The crowd liked what it saw, even as the movie faces microscopic scrutiny from the fan community, who recently vocally debated the merits of Ryan Reynolds in costume on a recent Entertainment Weekly cover. Without directly referencing the issue, director Martin Campbell talked about the costume, stressing several time it is a work in progress. “It will eventually look incredibly cool.” Warners made a point of making “Green Lantern,” and the “Harry Potter” panel which followed it, interactive,
